In Europe, many countries have radio signals that many clocks use to sync their time that is based on some atomic clocks. For example, in Germany these are called Funkuhr and the signal comes from an atomic clock in Braunschweig if I'm not mistaken.
googling for "origin of word robot" says that it's from "robota" which means (allegetly) forced labour in Czech which agrees with the article which says the same: "forced labor, as done by serfs".

That is also closer to the meaning than just "labour" or "work" in my own eastern europen language.
I think this has more to do with modernity and monoculture than it does with the types of greens a culture originally ate; usually the left behind greens are less tasty, more ... strongly flavoured, and harder to grow. IIRC small areas of japan have odd greens eaten as a customary thing, whether they make up a majority of foodstuffs i cant say. I believe greens were usually eaten only sparingly historically rather than the salad heavy diets pursued today. (lots of scary stuff on unwashed, uncooked greens)

> But temperatures < 0K make no sense.

Actually, they do! They behave very differently than you might expect. The reason is that temperature in thermodynamics is related to energy and entropy by dQ/dS = T, so if you can prepare a system that releases energy via decreasing in entropy, it has negative temperature. And, it turns out, you can actually do this. But the result is the complete opposite of cold.

The deploy queue usually gets to be a couple of "trains" deep which usually includes work from 4-10 devs. This represents a couple of hours. We have had issues with it taking too long, but this work I wrote about has improved that! We continue to try to improve it.
For what is worth, those users also earn them much lees revenue, so the cost can be lower, too.
Most of these, including both the OP and yours, are missing a factor for something like ‘collective civic will’.

Places generally recognized as doing well seem to have that in spades; not sure how to study for that though.
I'm building an app using Postgres for the first time. Naturally I was a bit worried about performance and scaling if the not launched yet app becomes a major success.

I began simulating a heavy use scenario. 100k users creating 10 records daily for three years straight.

100000 x 10 x 365 x 3 ~= 1 billion rows or about 200 GB with a record's length of 200 bytes. This is peanuts for modern databases and hardware.

Seems like a single node can support it for a long way before I have to worry about performance...
Not if the boomers activate the SEC. All it takes is one reddit ban of WSB. People won't just reorganize somewhere else, it never happens. Sure, a bunch of them will be somewhere else for 4 months but then the movement is dies because most WSB users will stick to reddit long term.
Replication issues in modern MySQL are caused by user error, not inherent bugs. For example if you're configuring replication manually, you must ensure that replicas are set to read_only. Clustering options introduced over the past few years do this automatically though.

> PGs integrated replication is far superior, it even has support for bootstrapping a new replica node without rsync and a command to `promote` the replica to write master

MySQL has this functionality too, e.g. https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/clone-plugin.html and https://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql-shell/8.0/en/working-with-re...

To be clear, I am not claiming MySQL is superior to PG. However, I have found that many PG users are unfamiliar with the huge improvements introduced in MySQL over the past ~8 years.
I really liked the show for many of the things you mentioned. I recommend it every now and then to friends or coworkers because I haven't met a single person yet who's seen that show. Very underrated.

My only gripe was that it seemed in season one, they tried a bit too hard to add drama to the show to appeal to a broader audience that isn't that interested in the technical stuff. Especially Joe Macmillan just felt over the top and just not credible at times. They made up for it in season two though, adding a lot of back-story for him and making him just more consistent in general. But even then, season one is still the best imo.
“error”? “resisidual”? “objective”? “cost”? “Penalty function” is commonly used in operations research/optimization, and the parameter correction, the “penalty”. There are some conceptual differences with RL as “penalty” is more like a data input, but I think that should be a participle like “punishment” because it implies action by the trainer.

What I am reading is: "the [universe] is so large and complex, and I feel that it is beautiful, therefore there must be some entity that created it"

How does that logically follow? To me that is clearly just a projection of the human concept of a "creator", a person who makes things (like a house, a fire, or a website), onto the universe. I see no reason to project my human experiences and ideas onto something as vast as the universe. Whatever is "out there" or "beyond" is by definition something that far exceeds our comprehension, our human concepts. If you want to call that "god", so be it, but I don't see how that's anything more than just a placeholder for something we can't reach.

We can, on the other hand, gradually understand more and more of the laws and properties of the universe itself, and how those work together to create the phenomena we find in the universe. All those gaps in the subset of phenomena that we can observe, I am confident that we are at least theoretically capable of understanding.

I like this! When consumers purchase products from a business, the consumers are starting to care about how the revenue dollars are being spent; it's an indirect way for the consumers to help out the environment.
Somebody wrote a reply to the above comment saying that people should simply not have student loan debt and then promptly deleted it before I could post the following reply:

Big ask to expect teenagers to be able to project the marginal benefit of college education (inherently uncertain and speculative) and to also estimate the real, not nominal, burden of the loans to the future (again, inherently uncertain and speculative). And it's tough to make that judgement when many US high schools treat college education like a necessity. Also important to remember that education debt is unique, it's not dischargeable. Unlike any other type of investment debt, borrowers don't have access to bankruptcy, meaning that an investment in education that doesn't work out follows you around for life like an underwater mortgage you can't be rid of.

I’m a fan of grove.co for many of the reasons you outline here (though a b-corp not a co-op).

Is this an idea + splash page? Or have you found products and sell something somewhere?
True, but I don't think that's likely to happen.
It depends on the species. For instance, most mice will start out as a tube, and then they turn inside out at embryonic day 8 (I think, It may be earlier though). Whereas rats, dogs, and humans do not do this. And that's just the mammalian development that has been under a lot of study. What other vertebrates do, well, that takes a bit more funding!
> I see people talking about using Kubernetes for internal applications.

I think the important issue when first starting a project is to create a "12 Factor App" so that if and when you create a Docker image and/or run the application in Kubernetes, you don't have to rewrite the entire application. Most of the tools I write run on the CLI but I am in fact a fan of Kubernetes for services, message processing and certain batch jobs simply because I don't have to manage their life-cycles.
> For all the horror, this was still only one person, one victim, killed. There are a great many other incidents in which large numbers of people have been deliberately killed yet we seem to just take such things as normal. The specifics of Khashoggi's murder were shocking, but the murder or disappearance of such persons is far from unusual on the world stage.

This is hugely important context to always keep in mind. The fact that MBS had managed to bamboozle the western media into fawning over his token "reforms" prior to the Saudis brazenly murdering Kashoggi was a disgrace.

It's telling that the media only really started caring about Saudi governmental corruption and criminality after one of their own - a fellow pundit who traveled in elite western circles - was grotesquely killed. MBS presumably had good reason to believe he could get away with murder, with Kashoggi being the exception that proves the rule.

With the increased time to ‘fill up’ with electricity it would make this more appealing to the companies
Alfven himself was telling the astronomers not to ignore the electric fields.
It is a gross oversimplification.
And I think this keeps science back from understanding the sun as it really is.

If I may explain it a bit further:

We measure magnetic fields in sunspots. And they are pretty stable. They are measured via the Zeeman effect, and show complex very strong magnetic fields (0.1 Tesla and higher). These fields require gigantic electric currents to be sustained. ( I= M*R^2 , with extreme large radius I= +-10^10 Ampere)

According to the mainstream astronomers, the magnetic should point outward. And this means that the currents must go around the sunspots. And we do not see any of such surrounding currents, nor do we have any idea where they could be.

Magnetism near moving conductors causes eddy-currents, which reduce the magnetic fields. So moving neutral plasma can never be the driver of such magnetic fields.

Yet, there is a clear solution.
The sunspots have lines of plasma moving outwards or inwards.
And these plasma lines are able to conduct strong currents easily.

So instead of a vertical magnetic field, we have a horizontal magnetic field around the plasma currents. And these plasma currents are conducting large amount of electricity like lightning.

It is also in line with the behaviour of solar flares.
Some flares behave like plasma rail guns.
Which works exactly as I explained.
Gender identity is a different concept. It's an internal conception of what gender you are. Compare that to, for instance, gender presentation, which is an outward facing set of traits that correspond to which gender you are showing others.

Gender, in the context of language referring to a person, has a fairly settled meaning.
As someone with quite a few Bitcoins, and who actively mines using my hardware when it isn't in use, that is most emphatically not what it is.

Every cent you "save" is diluted when the Federal Reserve decides to print up a trillion or two.

You can't "print up" a few trillion Bitcoins. You can't add more. You can't magically make them go away (unless of course your throw away your hard drive with the wallet data on it...).

And unlike any other type of currency, where some shady deal can take place and there's absolutely no record of it... there's a ledger of every single transaction ever made on the Bitcoin network. You may not know who that address belongs to, but the transaction is there.

Wanting to investigate the election irregularities that occurred in this election is not automatically "broken news" or "fake news" just because you don't want to hear it.

UPS Freight has never really been “UPS” even though they sort of share the same computer systems and branding. Their quality of service has also always been much lower (at least in our region).
Just because the party leaders agreed doesn’t mean that it’s true, like Mitt Romney said “an audit won’t satisfy them, only telling them the truth will”. Mitt Romney doesn’t know and the truth is we may never know, but it’s just as incorrect to confidently claim “free and fair” as it is to claim “stolen”.

Both parties at least agreed that they didn’t want to set the precedent of the other party doing audits every 2-4 years, that much is certain.
Same whining in finance. Every loophole is ruthlessly exploited, shady tactics employed, malicious compliance or borderline fraud are commonplace. The legislature changes to address that => the actors kvetch about red tape.

> unheard of in history for the far left and far right to experience the same issues in such a similar way,

So you mean their response to liberal democracy and restraints on government power in the name of rights and due process because it gets in the way of their plan to kill masses of "bad people" and establish their perfect society? And their "bad people" happen to be largely or entirely Jewish while going along with every lie told to their ignorant peasant ancestors by their aristocracy taken as gospel? That isn't new at all. And it is why they all turn into hellholes when they are in charge.

This whole "big Tech's days are numbered" is basically QAnon for slightly smarter people with slightly less bloodlust. Assign all of the evils of the world to "Big Tech" and assume everything is a sign that it is going down as an article of faith. They complain both about them moderating too much and not insist there should be some kind of legal punishment. A judge would call these complaints "a very novel legal theory" (read: no basis in the law and it doesn't mean what you think it does).
Why do you posit that your only options are "tech hub" and "research job"?

> You don't see a problem with a motivated, hardworking, educated individual meeting the market at a price that keeps them below what previous generations consider middle class? That is not indicative of an issue to you?

I think people are trying to understand if you are working at or below your regional market value. That said, it sounds like a problem local to your region. I think if you look at Glassdoor you'll find that you're well below the national average, and I don't think it's just Silicon Valley inflating the national average. (I have an EE degree as well and on graduation it seemed like $75K was a pretty reasonable starting salary most places with lots of room for growth).
That is interesting. But it's worth pointing out that it's a slightly different definition of temperature that is "negative".

Sure, it's kind of absurd that the same 4 people would be at the center of so many technological shifts, over a period of 20+ years. But, you really have to accept that as a conceit of the medium.

There are basically only two ways to construct a TV series that has any continuity to it whatsoever. You can either keep most of the main characters together for the entire series, and watch them grow and change, like most series do; or, you can do like American Horror Story does and just scrap everything and start anew every season or so. Some series don't care about continuity, like Seinfeld, so they fall outside the scope of this statement, but, the majority of TV series will be one or the other of these.

And, there's nothing really wrong with this construction, either. Like I said, it's just something you have to accept, kind of like how every TV home or apartment is absolutely massive compared to what real people live in, or how people are able to comfortably fly on airplanes without squishing themselves into the seats or their heads being within inches or less of the roof of the cabin. Or the fact that if anybody coughs on TV, they're usually deathly ill.

I'll have to check out Black Mirror: Bandersnatch, though. I've been putting off watching it for some reason -- maybe because for most of 2020, I felt like I was living in a Black Mirror episode.

Speaking of Netflix series that really get the time period correct, Stranger Things is 100% exactly like what it was like to be a kid in the 80s. Starting from the bowl haircut on Will, right on down to every last detail of the mall from season 3, and battling the Demogorgon in a friend's basement. Absolute 10/10 set design, and I never noticed a single anachronism.

That sounds so much more pleasant than what we have today.

When cable had no ads, did all programs just run continously? If a channel did a special where they played standard TV programs designed for over the air broadcast (18-23 minutes/episode), did they just play them consecutively or have some other filler to keep on a 30 or 60 minute schedule?

So any data that does not fall under that blacklist is free game?

I still find that quite arbitrary to make that distinction, not to mention the wiggle room it leaves with many of those categories being rather ill-defined.

At what point does an opinion become “political”? what is “racial” an “ethnic origin” is quite open to interpretation; when is a belief “philosophical”?

The way I understand this paragraph, it could conceivably be so that an opinion that, say, consoles are not suited for f.p.s. games could freely be processed, but an opinion that U.K. roads are unsuitable for cycling could not, as the latter would be more easily classified as “political” even though the former could too, and the later could conceivably not as well?

I find that very arbitrary.
